Stars and Stripes by Elena Ghisellini
Happy Fourth of July, my fellow Americans! And happy weekend to you all.
I’m thrilled to celebrate today’s patriotic holiday by sharing with you exclusive images of the new Stars and Stripes Felina bags by the talented and lovely Elena Ghisellini.
As part of her Resort 2016 collection, Elena has developed three versions of the Felina bag, all in a patriotic red, white, and blue design finished with silver studded stars. Never before have the stars and stripes looked so chic!
You can pre-order these bags exclusively at Saks. Click on any of the three images below for product details.
(You might recall me singing the praises of Elena and her iconic bags previously, when I carried the rainbow Felina during Milan Fashion Week.)

Editorial Thoughts
When given the special opportunity to wear and photograph this bag, I immediately thought of this rainbow wall created recently in Houston by the talented Sebastien “Mr. D” Boileau. As Elena says, “Rainbow is the new black… Rainbow represents tolerance and freedom” – two fundamental values of the Elena Ghisellini brand and two causes very close to her heart.
Happy 4th of July! Happy weekend! And happy shopping. What better way to celebrate than with a new bag? 🙂
7/7/15 update: Would you like to win one of these bags? Saks is hosting a contest. Just visit the Saks Instagram account and leave a comment on any images posted by Saks of the bag! No purchase necessary. The contest runs now through July 13.

such a fun wall to shoot in front of! I wish we had more backdrops like this in Dallas 🙁

I know! We need more walls in Houston too.
Yes, indeed… I kept passing on the dress at first, but then I kept seeing you look amazing in it, so I finally bit the bullet. 😉
